AM - 12 miles. Pyramid workout on the track: 2-4-8-12-16-12-8-4-2. Splits were 35, 71, 2:25, 3:44, 5:00, 3:45, 2:26, 70, 33. My legs didn't quite have that "snap" this morning... I felt like I could run 75s all day, but didn't have the turnover to go much quicker. Rather than force the pace, I just kept the effort level consistent. No point in pushing workouts too hard... they are all just building blocks.

I should note that the cheerleaders were out in full force again this morning. They start practice at 6am! Today they ran a mile and did jump rope... which as you can imagine made running on the track like running through a war zone!

PM - 8 miles on Wasatch Blvd, from the Dan's Supermarket to the 6200S Park & Ride and back. Nice run. Haven't done that one in a while.

No turnover, but you feel like you can run 75s all day...hmmm, sounds like you have become a marathoner! I can't remember the last time I broke 35s in 200m...but then again, I can't remember the last time I did a 200m interval!

I hope you don't mind as I sit quietly back and watch you progress. Down the road from us there's this place: http://www.amazingjakes.com/

I think I'll call you Amazing Jake from now on.

After Top of Utah, we should race a 200m just to see if either of us can break 30!

Sounds good. You're on!

Wait, you were talking to Paul, weren't you?

From Burt on Wed, Aug 03, 2011 at 12:08:33 from 206.19.214.144

I'll put in a good word for you.

Cheerleaders doing jump rope? Haha! I'm sure they were paying attention to the runners. :)

Wow nice work! Good comment about knowing when and when not to push and how each workout is a building block. It's not easy to run a 4x2mile workout then go down to the fast pyramid workout you ran. Your legs are all confused! Hope you don't mind if you're my new inspiration and congrats on your entry to Philadelphia!
